Neurons
This part of the neuron receives incoming messages from other neurons.
dendrites
Learning that occurs when an organism associates two stimuli is known as this type of conditioning.
Classical Conditioning
The emotional bond that forms between an infant and caregiver is known as this.
Attachment
This research method examines the relationship between two variables but does not prove cause and effect.
Correlational
Participants must be informed about the nature of a study and agree to participate under this principle.
Informed Consent
The electrical charge difference across a neuron’s membrane when it is not firing is called the....
Resting Period/Refractory Period
In operant conditioning, this type of reinforcement increases behavior by removing an unpleasant stimulus.
Negative Reinforcement
This concept refers to a person’s sense of self formed during adolescence, according to Erikson.
Identity/Self-Concept
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: A research technique in which behavior is observed and recorded without interference is called this.
Natural(istic) Observation/ Observational
This ethical guideline allows participants to leave a study at any time without penalty.
Right to Withdraw
The place where two neurons meet is known as the:
Synapse
This psychologist is famous for research on operant conditioning using the operant chamber.
B.F. Skinner
According to Jean Piaget, children develop the ability to think logically about concrete events during this stage.
Concrete Operational
This type of sample accurately represents the population because each member has an equal chance of selection.
Random Sample
When researchers withhold full information about a study’s purpose, this is called this.
Deception
The insulating layer that speeds up neural transmission along the axon is known as this.
Myelin Sheath
The tendency for a learned behavior to temporarily disappear after extinction is called this.
Spontaneous Recovery
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: According to Erikson, the primary psychosocial conflict of early adulthood is this.
Intimacy v. Isolation
The factor that is manipulated by the experimenter is known as this variable.
Independent Variable
After a study involving deception, researchers must explain the true purpose in a process known as this.
Debriefing
DOUBLE JEOPARDY: The brief electrical impulse that travels down an axon is called this.
Action Potential
The concept of observational learning is driven by the idea that THIS neuron exists.
Mirror Neuron
According to Kohlberg, morality based on avoiding punishment occurs at this level of moral development.
Preconventional
This statistical measure describes the most frequently occurring score in a data set.
Mode
This ethical principle requires that participants’ personal information and data remain private.
Confidentiality
This neurotransmitter is most associated with mood regulation and is often linked to depression when levels are low.
Serotonin
A child cleans their room more often after being allowed extra screen time each time it is clean; this type of learning explains the behavior.
Positive Reinforcement
This parenting style is characterized by high warmth and high control and is linked to the most positive child outcomes.
Authoritative Parenting Style
This measure describes how closely scores cluster around the mean of a data set.
Standard Deviation
This principle requires researchers to minimize physical and psychological harm to participants.
Do no harm
This part of the neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap.
Axon Terminal
After getting food poisoning from sushi, a person feels nauseous just smelling it months later; this learning process explains the reaction.
Classical Conditioning
These scores are used by developmental psychologists to assess the outcome of a person's mental health or likelihood to succeed later in life based on trauma in childhood.
ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) Scores
A factor other than the independent variable that might affect the dependent variable is called this.
Confounding Variable
This ethical guideline states that the university or research committee must approve and vet an experiment before it is published or implemented.
Institutional Review
